if we’re still talking about bright eyes then i think you’re right. mr. oberst seems to possess and inconsistent hopelessness. i think you are right with what you point out about where he finds meaning in life. in this way i suppose he is something of an existentialist but maybe that is categorizing him a bit too much. maybe part of his goal is simply to refuse to be categorized.
if we are talking about humanity in general i think people can be without hope. however, i suppose there are varying levels of hopelessness which then begs the question what does it look like to be truly hopeless?
